Heartbreak House

Dan H. Laurence

Written at the height of the first World War in Europe, an impassioned satire of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century bourgeoisie offers a scathing portrait of a household of independent eccentrics.

It was okay. I’m not a big Shaw fan so I had to read this and watch it in order to really get through it. Lots of conversation that requires full attention and watching a live performance to really catch and enjoy. Shaw humor is unique and depending on where or who you are it can be easy to miss. I’ll give another Shaw play a try, but this one isn’t my favorite. Ideal character would be Addy Utterwood. She’s fun.
